Gohmert: ‘Politcal Correctness’ Behind 3,000 Troops Sent to Africa Who Can Bring Ebola to US

Wednesday night on Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) slammed President Barack Obama’s “political correctness” for being behind his decision to send troops to Africa to address Ebola rather than closing down travel to the infected areas.

Gohmert said, “Political correctness a it’s getting military members killed. This is the heart of the problem and also, by the way, the same kind of idea putting the military into where they could get Ebola. They are not trained to catch it. They are trained to kill the people that want to kill us. The president’s priorities are all mixed up. All you have to do is shut down traffic where there are high risk of Ebola, but political correctness will get us killed in many of these areas.”
